Have you received an email from "ELI KAUFMANN" at "Independent Committee of Eminent Persons (ICEP)",
claiming that he has found a "dormant Holocaust bank account" in
Switzerland, and "Being a top executive at ICEP, I have all secret details and necessary
contacts for claim of this funds without any hitch. The funds will be banked
in any of the bank account you provere."

It is a scam. Even if it weren't a scam, it would be a felony,
fraud and theft. But it is all nonsense, a scam made up to get money from you.
See the example below, an actual email from the scammer, sent to a victim.

The scammer intends to to get hold of your money instead, by conning you into sending money for various "fees" to free the
"funds in escrow".

Note some of the obvious scam clues that we have
highlighted in the email below,
such as excessive/incorrect use of CAPITAL letters, terrible spelling, grammar
and punctuation, the use of free email accounts rather than a domain and website that
matches the company's name, etc.

My name is ELI KAUFMANN . A member of Independent Committee of Eminent
Persons (ICEP), Switzerland. ICEP is charged with the responsibility of
finding bank accounts in Switzerland belonging to non-Swiss indigenes, which
have remained dormant since World War II, It may interest you to know that
In July of 1997, the Swiss Banker's Association published a list of dormant
accounts originally opened by non-Swiss citizens.

These accounts had been dormant since the end of World War II (May 9, 1945).
Most belonged to Holocaust victims.The continuing efforts of the Independent
Committee of Eminent Persons (ICEP) have since resulted in the discovery of
additional dormant bank accounts - 54,000 in December, 1999.

Interest is paid on accounts that were interest bearing when establish The
Claims Resolution Tribunal has been mandated to report all unclaimed funds
for permanent closure of accounts and transfer of existing credit balance
into the treasury of Switzerland government as provided by the law for
management of assets of deceased beneficiaries who died interstate
(living no wills).
